\u201cIdentifying network \u2026. No Internet Access\u201d<\/em><\/b><\/h4>\nProbably you’ve seen this message while connecting devices to Wireless or Wired Home Network (Internet). If no go, you then visit the control panel to the Network and Security centre. Post a hectic troubleshoot, your ISP informs you that there is some Network issue that will be solved by 48 hours.<\/p>\n
For you the next 48 hours it\u2019s going to be more than just difficult! You won\u2019t be able to book your\u00a0ride\u00a0to the office, order monthly groceries which you were supposed to get by the day, stay connected with social channels. In other words, you stay disconnected with the world online. Alas, you decide to buy a 3G\/4G\/5G internet service card from a local store. 48 hours without the Internet today for you means less accessibility, affordability and\u00a0agility. Software-defined networking is drastically changing the way we see bandwidth, application performance and network availability for enterprise networks.\u00a0 Will the same technological advancements become viable enough to reach consumers with offerings like Networking as a Service- NaaS?<\/p>\n
InterNETwork<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhile the physical world is evolving towards being virtual, Network is playing a pivotal role in helping you stay Connected. No one better than businesses understand the value of Networks today. Unlike\u00a0you, large scale businesses handling several devices, applications and connections from varied locations across the globe,\u00a0do\u00a0not have the option to buy or recharge. They need to ensure uninterrupted (Internet) Network access for customers, employees, partners and third-party vendors.<\/p>\n
For\u00a0long\u00a0business networks were driven by legacy infrastructures. But with the advent of the internet, it is no more possible. Modern Applications, devices,\u00a0and technology\u00a0requires speed, agility and flexibility. Distributing Internet over a rigid Network set up costs companies 10 times more than what they are paying now using next-generation Network Solutions \u2013 Software\u00a0Defined\u00a0Networking solution. Like when your ISP failed for 48 hours, you had to go\u00a0shell out extra bucks to get a recharge card even after paying your monthly internet bill. For companies, these interruptions\u00a0cost a lot of money.<\/p>\n
So, can Network in the future\u00a0can\u00a0be offered as a service to consumers as well as businesses? Well, already network solution providers are offering Networking as a Service- NaaS to businesses.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Networking as a Service- Naas<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe rise of cloud managed services has compelled businesses to adopt flexible, scalable and agile Network Infrastructures.\u00a0 The biggest advantage of NaaS is\u00a0the complete control and flexibility<\/strong>\u00a0that businesses can gain. Network administrators can exert total control on the allocation and provisioning of the bandwidth. Ensuring there is endless flexibility for network capacity and scalability. This flexibility also extends to the location of the business and of course, pricing models.<\/p>\nNaaS is a cloud model, which provides businesses with\u00a0network services<\/a>\u00a0over the Internet on pay-per-use or subscription consumption models. This\u00a0has\u00a0allowed businesses to get rid of maintaining and monitoring\u00a0hardware\u2019s\u00a0and round-the-clock network management \u2013 it\u2019s all in the past now. Cloud networking saves the cost of investing in and running network infrastructure.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
So why businesses were slow in adopting NaaS?<\/strong><\/p>\nEarlier shifting to the cloud was riskier with respect to security, compliance and reliability. NaaS was no different.\u00a0 While it is not a new concept, enterprises have been slow to embrace it mainly due to concerns around issues of\u00a0availability guarantees, SLAs and concerns regarding security, data privacy and compliance.<\/p>\n
But today it is safe to say that cloud computing will be the future platform for all businesses. As the move towards cloud accelerates, enterprises will need to consider network virtualization more seriously. After all, the benefits of cloud (cloud networking) \u2013 speed, agility, low costs and scalability \u2013 have proven to be irresistible in the past.<\/p>\n
